In the present study, halacarid mites inhabiting various macroalgae, barnacles and sand sediments from Tenerife (Canary Islands) were examined and identified for the first time. Among 114 individuals, 11 halacarid species belonging to six genera were detected: Agaue adriatica, Agauopsis brevipalpus, Agauopsis microrhyncha, Agauopsis tricuspis, Copidognathus lamelloides, C. magnipalpus, C. remipes, Halacarus subtilis, H. actenos, Halacaropsis hirsuta and Rhombognathus procerus. Presence of the epibiont suctorian ciliate species “Praethecacineta halacari” on C. magnipalpus is reported for the first time from the Canary Islands.
